you could get really tricky and do cool stuff like do a low level read
of the drive.  if it returns a disk in there then mount it and or check
to see that it's the same disk then mount it. and if there is no disk in
it then umount it and or do nothing.  kinda like the amigas used to do
with their floppy disks.. (click.... click...)  

Cheers
Craig
